Whew! I totally had to hit the ground running today. I have a million and one things to do, little and big, and I’m trying to keep everything straight and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
I subbed for a computer lab teacher today, which is lots of fun until the internet doesn’t work. Whomp. It’s hard to explain to second graders why the games aren’t working.
Today got off to kind of a rough start. Brian and I swapped cars this weekend, and as I walked out the door I realized that I didn’t have my keys. Turns out he just left them on the kitchen table (under a pile of stuff) but I called the school to tell them I was going to be late and then had 5 minutes of panic where I sent Brian alarming emails and contemplated walking to law school to steal his car.
I’ll end this randomness now, but there’s a question that I would like to throw out the blogosphere…
MY GOOGLE READER IS SICK. A few weeks ago “Blogs I’m Following” tab just stopped adding new blogs to the tab. Here is the weird part: every so often it will all of a sudden recognize the blogs I added after that certain point, and I’ll have this influx of unread posts. Then I’ll go back to look at them, and they will have mysteriously disappeared. I didn’t notice at first, but now it is so many blogs that I can’t not notice.
This upsets me because I have found so many cool blogs lately (AND that’s not even all of them because I don’t have a LIST! ) And I don’t want to comment on posts 5 days later, I want to comment on them when they happen.
Do you know what is up with this??? I’ve searched. I’ve checked many times. If you know what to do, please help!
Rumor has it that Google Friend Connect will soon be no more. Not sure if that has something to do with it? Do you subscribe to blogs in the actual Google Reader product, or do you follow them through Blogger? If the latter, try adding blogs to the actual Google Reader product (go to google.com/reader). This is how I read all my blogs and mine has been fine…?
Thanks Victoria! Yeah, it's all the blogs I follow through Google Friend Connect. I just do that because I know people like to get new followers but maybe I should just give up and stick to subscribing directly in GR.
This isn't quite what you are asking, but I use a desktop program called “Reeder” to read the blogs I follow. It pulls from your google reader account so it's the same stuff, just in a much prettier format.
MINE DID THAT TOO! I was FREAKING out when my dashboard said that I wasn't following any blog anymore. However, a few hours later they all came back and it hasn't happened sense. Lemme know if you find out whats up with that.
My google reader does the SAME thing! It drives me crazy and I have not found a solution. Please share if you learn anything new!
Oh man! Having a long to- do list is a love/hate thing for me. It's always fun to check things off though! I wish I was more savvy to help you :( that sounds super frustrating!
I totally relate with your situation. My husband left his keys in my car and it just totally threw us in a spin on Monday! I was subbing in a different county–just craziness! My google reader has done the same thing–and it's so so annoying. Maybe it was just a bug that went through Google? Who knows? I hope the rest of your week has been smoother! :)
